>CopyrightThe Capcom thing was much bigger than just "Mio almost losing her channel." If she lost her channel to copyright strikes, she'd have to graduate because you can't ever make another youtube channel if you're banned for copyright. No more Mio in hololive and no future reincarnations either. And it affected multiple channels, not just hers. Go back and look at the vods of holo members who have been around since pre-2020 and you'll notice most of them have no vods before 2020. The majority of the content backlog had to be deleted, which obviously stifles growth, and they had extremely limited options for what to stream.
>AloeThis whole fiasco happened right at the time of two hugely important debuts, holofive and Myth, that were both supposed to chart a course for the future of hololive. holofive was essentially dead on arrival (Nene also had a problem, which was her Chinese-based design, which had to be redone) and the circumstances of the graduation painted Cover in a really bad light to those who weren't following closely enough to understand what happened.
> CN branchThis obviously seems good in retrospect but you have to realize that the company lost an entire significant chunk of their business strategy. One slip up got them entangled in global politics which, needless to say, is not something a vtuber agency wants to have to worry about. Also, harassment came from within the company, talent vs talent (Artia attacking Coco on alt accounts) which is literally what happened this year with Niji EN except that Cover was smart enough to fire the harasser rather than the harassed (though Coco went on to graduate anyway but they cleaned it up enough to diminish the negative impacts of that as much as possible).
None of these were nothingburgers, they were huge controversies that many other companies would have completely been destroyed by. It's a miracle Hololive survived all 3 of them and more in the same year at a time when they were also trying to expand globally during an ongoing pandemic.
